Do you feel burdened by your past?

Current culture conditions us to believe that we're indelibly scarred by the events of our past. If we've had past experiences that have been harmful or traumatic, then in many cases, no matter how much time has passed, we will still today be struggling to deal with those experiences and the personal impact they've had. We can often feel ourselves to be completely enslaved to our past.

In Joey Lott's Free from the Past we learn that, however great our bondage to the past may seem, we have the ability to free ourselves by the simple act of exploring the present with open curiosity.

How can I free myself?

Lott demonstrates that there is a deceptively simple strategy that each of us can use to discover our own personal freedom from the past. He offers a series of straightforward exercises that can be practiced in order to set foot on the path to attaining this freedom.

No gimmicks.

No expensive gadgets.

Just a simple exploration of the present moment.

Does it really work?

Each and every one of us is different, but the simple strategy outlined by Lott is one that any of us can follow, and the results can be absolutely liberating.

"Whatever we remember having happened, regardless of how horrific or even how wonderful it was, in this present moment it is just a thought.

Lott teaches that we can find complete freedom in the present not by trying to get rid of anything, or change anything, but by simply exploring the present moment through direct experience. Whilst this may not be quite as easy in practice as it first sounds, he's fully aware of this and addresses all of our usual, subtle strategies of resistance, effortlessly dissolving them.

"Sometimes I suggest that it’s as if you’ve been running from a terrifying monster your whole life..."

About the Author

"The secret to happiness is to let go of everything - see through every assumption."

Beginning at a young age Joey Lott experienced intensifying anxiety. For several decades he lived with restrictive eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions, and an inescapable fear. By the time he was 30 years old he was physically sick, emotionally volatile, and mentally obsessed with keeping any and all unwanted thoughts and experiences at bay.

At this time Lott was living on a futon mattress in a tiny cabin in the woods. He was so sick that he could barely move. He was deeply depressed and hopeless. All this despite doing all the "right" things such as years of meditation, yoga, various "perfect" diets, clean air, and pure water.

Just when things were at their most dire, a crack appeared in the conceptual world that had formerly been mistaken for reality. By peering into this crack and underneath all the assumptions that had been unquestioned up to that moment, Lott began a great undoing. The revelation of this undoing is that reality is utterly simple, ever-present, seamless, and indivisible.

Lott's books provide a glimpse into the seamless, simple, and joyous nature of reality, offering a glimpse through the crack in conceptual worlds. Whether writing about the ultimate non-dual nature of reality, eating disorders, stress, disease, or any other subject, he offers the invitation to look at things differently, leaving behind the old, out-grown, painful limitations we have used to bind ourselves in suffering. And then, he welcomes you home to the effortless simplicity of yourself as you are.

Not sure where to begin? Pick up a copy of Lott's most popular book, You're Trying Too Hard, which strips away all the concepts that keep us searching for a greater, more spiritual, more peaceful life or self.

This is a very good book if you want to free yourself from the past. Just note that Joey approaches things (the past, in this case) with non duality wisdom. If you want to free yourself from the past and you relate to non duality then get this book!!I love how Joey is able to explain non duality concepts in a simple down to earth way

I recommend this short book for any individual who, like myself, has unsuccessfully attempted to resolve life's problems through conceptual thought. if, like myself, your difficulties persist or are even exacerbated by these attempts, why not try exploring your personal universe through the direct experience of whatever is present now? it's simple, but not necessarily easy---in fact, I'm continuously working on this process. Thanks, Joey!

Another great book from Joey Lott. Simplify your life and your search for answers with one of the clearest thinkers and teachers of our time. This man speaks from experience. Order this book immediately, or waste more time searching for the answers.

All my life, I realize that I have been searching for something—not someone else, something inside me. It’s my own center! But traumatic memories were blocking the way. Now, in this remarkably effectual book, Joey Lott has taught me how to break the chains of yesterday’s miseries by exploring the memories without fear, giving me the freedom to find my true self. A quick, potent, life-altering read.
